arcella Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 here is a thought, would this work if I install snow leopard on my computer and then install lion on top of that would it keep the graphics drivers and stuff?

buoo Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Try booting with -v arch=i386 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/277027-gateway-m-6318-help-with-video-drivers-in-lion-iatkos-l2/#findComment-1806058 Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcella Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 Try booting with -v arch=i386 when I booted it with that it got to a all black screen with a blinking cursor in the very top left hand corner of the display and when I typed it showed up where that cursor was sort of like a dos prompt, every once in a while I would see the mouse cursor show up for a second then disapear like maybe once every 2 minutes which is kinda a change I am used to getting a garbled screen when I would boot into arch=i386 thank you I feel like we are making some progress lol -Kayla Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/277027-gateway-m-6318-help-with-video-drivers-in-lion-iatkos-l2/#findComment-1806063 Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcella Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 here is something, I loaded Snow Leopard 10.6.3 (iAtkos S3) and for the video section I loaded something called "EFI String" and then a natit.kext that said it was for the x3100 and then loaded the x3100 drivers and they work absolutely perfect, can I just copy those things into lion and have it work that way?
